College Station notes transplanting time for tomato plants and shares practical guidance from J. F. Rosborough extension horticulturist at Texas A and M College. The advice covers soil prep, spacing, watering, staking, and disease prevention to improve early growth and yields.
The grower should keep covers off above 40 degree temperatures and reduce watering to allow soil to dry to check growth and harden plant fibers. Water thoroughly in the early morning on transplant day, plant may be set out late evening, and mound soil around stems to resist wind. At first sign of cutworm damage scatter bran mash with paris green in late evening.
